  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Geophysical and Geotechnical survey of a 64ha area located in the south-eastern part of dredging area 254 (licensed to United Marine Aggregates Ltd), some 10km east of Great Yarmouth. The survey was commissionned by English Heritage and funded though Round 2 of the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF). The survey was part of the wider ALSF 'Seabed Prehistory' project, and comprised sub-bottom profiling, sidescan sonar, single beam echosounder and vibrocores.The digital elevation model of the area's bathymetry revealed a mound, and sub-bottom profiler data indicated coarse sand and gravel overlain by intermittent fiine-grained sediment potentially containing peat, which was in turn overlain by gravelly sand. The vibrocores were assessed for polen, molluscan, waterlogged plant, diatom and other remains, and yielded charcoal deposited as early as the Cromerian Complex period.
